Amandine

My name is Amandine and I am an experienced French and Spanish Tutor with over 8 years experience teaching privately students from different backgrounds and countries, including the USA, Australia, South America and Ireland.

I have studied French Literature and have completed a Bachelor in Translation at the University of Bordeaux (English/Spanish and French).I have also completed my Masters in Communication and Marketing and therefore I can also help you with those subjects.

I come from the South of France, nearby the border with Spain and have studied Spanish from a very young age, I have also lived in Spain and travelled in South America. Therefore I will be happy to help you with your prononciation, grammar, essays in Spanish. My Spanish is fluent and I can teach you either the Spanish from Spain or from South America.

I make my classes fun, interactive and well structured to help you reach your learning goals. Together before we start the class we decide whether you want to focus on improving your written skills, want to improve your practice or want to mix both. I always mix in my classes grammar and vocabulary and often have themed-classes that will make you learn faster and enjoy the learning process.

I teach all ages and levels and I can help you with any French exams (DELF, DALF, GCSE, A-level).
Exam preparation for DELF & DALF, GCSE, business French (interviews, presentation skills, negotiations, etc.) as well as general French conversation.

If you need any help with your French or Spanish please let me know and I will be delighted to help you.

A bientot, Amandine

Tutoring Approach

I am passionate by my language, country and culture and I love to share it with my students during my classes through grammar, conversation, writing, videos, informal classes at the museum etc. I use different supports (books, videos, plays, writing) to make you learn meanwhile enjoying the process.

From Patricia

Amandine is an excellent French tutor who really connects with her student, making them feel comfortable and unselfconscious about speaking a foreign language. My daughter was reluctant to engage in a French school exchange but having weekly tutoring from Amandine gave her confidence in her own ability and provided her with the idioms that made speaking French seem more natural. She now declares that the exchange was the best experience of her life! She is returning to Amandine for GCSE tutoring. Thank you, Amandine. Patricia

From Richard

Amandine is an excellent tutor of both French (her native language) and Spanish. She worked with our son, an A Level Spanish student, and had an immediate effect on his progress. She is very personable and flexible in terms of timings, etc.
